Can Zaino Save my car! Please help!

I have a 2000 323 jet black which I need to sell before my car gets here in October. The paint looks like absolute crap. Bird poop stains, a few minor scratches, tree sap, and even a light sprinkle of white paint all over the hood.

Will the clay bar and every step of the Zaino process restore my paint finish to something even remotely respectable. I dont expect miracles, but does anyone know what is possible? Should I go to a professional detailer or should I Zaino it myself?

Any advice in this case is good advice.

Thanks

For the flip, I wouldn't invest in the Zaino product line. You sound like you do need a serious 'pre-wax' evolution, tho. Who knows if clay will knock down that overspray...for the condition you describe as well as your confidence level, I'd turn it over to somebody with rotary or ROB experience who can lay some thick oil down to cover up the mess,....I mean, make her shine....so you can put your car's 'best foot' forward...

I agree with having a professional detailer work on you car. The money you spend will most likely be made up for by getting a better price for your car. Appearance is huge when it comes to selling a used car. Good luck.

Your car needs some professional attention. Find someone good in your area, you will get more for your car. My mother just got rid of her 97 jaguar, was in terrible condition. Scratches, swirls, marring bird poop etchings. I spent 10 hours of the vehicle cleaning and polishing. We got 6 hundred less the kbb for the trade in. Chris

Zanio is best on new cars.
